Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Near Noyon, 80.2% of collège pupils passed the brevet, below both Oise’s towns (85.3%) and compared French towns (87.5%). 3 collèges and 2 lycées with 2025 results and value added are within 5 km (3 miles) of Noyon. Noyon grades C− for schools, on their brevet and bac pass rates and value added: #32 of 55 in Oise. The social position index (IPS) is shown, not graded.
The town’s figures are weighted by candidates across the schools within 5 km; the comparison is the median of compared French towns (those with an overall grade).
Around Noyon, the lycées do better than those of 46% of compared French towns, the collèges better than 14%. 96% passed the general and technological bac (as expected against the expected rate), and 80.2% the brevet (−4.4 pts). School Grade ↓
99% of 83 candidates passed the brevet at Collège Notre-Dame in 2025, 8 points more than the ministry expected from its pupils’ backgrounds and ages. Results and background ↓
1 of the 3 collèges within 5 km is private, under contract with the state: it teaches the national curriculum and its pupils sit the same brevet. It counts in the grade like the public ones. Every school ↓
The collèges within 5 km take pupils from very different homes: the social position index runs from 84.4 at Collège Paul Éluard to 113.4 at Collège Notre-Dame. It is shown for context and never graded. Results and background ↓

Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The lycées lift Noyon; the collèges hold it back.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Noyon with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 3 collèges (364 candidates) and 2 lycées (414). Each school’s pass rate and value added are compared with every French school of its kind, then weighted by candidates; collèges and lycées count equally. A school can count for several towns.
The line is the typical French school for each social position index; the band holds the middle two-thirds. A dot’s color is the ministry’s value added.
Schools whose pupils come from better-off homes usually get higher pass rates. The ministry’s value added already allows for that, and for pupils’ ages: of the 3 schools here, 1 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 2 2 points or more below.
| School | IPS | Pass rate | Value added (points) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collège Notre-DameBrevet · Private | 113.4 | 99% | +8 pts |
| Collège Paul ÉluardBrevet · Public | 84.4 | 72% | −8 pts |
| Collège Louis PasteurBrevet · Public | 90.7 | 78% | −8 pts |
IPS: DEPP’s social position index, 2024–25, from parents’ occupations (France’s average pupil ≈ 100). It describes; it doesn’t grade. Value added: the school’s pass rate minus the rate expected from its pupils’ backgrounds and ages.
The dashed circle is 5 km (3 miles) from the town’s point, the center of where its residents live; the black outline is the commune.
Points: the Ministry of Education’s school directory.
Each with its 2025 result and its value added: how far its pass rate is above or below what the ministry expected from its pupils. 3 collèges and 2 lycées are in the grade. Distances from the town’s point.
Results: DEPP, brevet (IVAC) and bac (IVAL) 2025. Not in the grade: a school with results but no value added published (often a small one). Primary schools: the commune’s own, from the school directory.
Colored by School Grade. Brevet and bac: pass rates across each town’s schools within 5 km.
| Town | Schools | Brevet | Bac |

1 No lycée with results within 5 km: that town’s grade uses its collèges alone.
Choisy-au-Bac has the best-graded schools nearby (B+). Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
They grade C−, better than those around 25% of compared French towns and #32 of 55 in Oise. In 2025, 80.2% of the 364 candidates at the three collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (−4.4 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 92.6% of 414 candidates passed the bac (−1.2 pts).
Against the expected rate, Collège Notre-Dame (private, 0.1 mi): 99% of 83 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +8 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict. On the raw pass rate alone the order can differ; value added is the fairer comparison.
Against the expected rate, Lycée Jean Calvin (public, 0.5 mi): 96% of 314 candidates passed the general and technological bac in 2025, as expected against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict.
A state collège takes the children of its catchment area (secteur), which the département council sets; families can ask the académie for an exception (dérogation). Lycée places go through the académie’s Affelnet assignment. Private schools under contract admit pupils themselves.
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Noyon has 12 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
